'In this tightly edited volume, an array of internationally distinguished contributors provide illuminating insights into current transformations of political authority and timely evidence that the classical state form is losing the monopoly it once had and is no longer the sovereign entity it used to be. It also shows that the new evolving structures of formal and informal governance follow their own logic and cannot be captured by applying old concepts. Complex Sovereignty is a must-read for anybody interested in learning more about these new forms of authority and decision-making.'
